Sorry for the long pause between updates, but command center Seattle decided to re-purpose the radar system for blending margaritas and 6 hours later , here we are.

The two posts below come from Birch and Jon 9. The confidence is oozing, and the team seems to relish the night, but the spelling seems to deteriorate.

Birch writes in at 4:20am ET
Christina just came steaming in and fifi is on the course with a 4am start. I’ve een the white witch do alotta things at 4am before but I can promise you it’s never involved running except perhaps from the law or to afterhours!!!

Strong finish to christina who got a little more than she bargained for with the inky-black darkness and nh wilds on all sides…..strong stuff for a city-lady.

Temp is droping but Van Dukes is ON-ON and holding down the graveyard shift with aplomb.

Then Jon 9 comes back at 5:30am ET
